Rose Bowl StadiumRose Bowl Stadium Average User Rating: (0 votes, add your vote or comments) The stadium was given the name "Rose Bowl" by a police reporter named Harlan W. Hall, who had the Yale Bowl in mind when thinking of how an expanded structure would look. On October 28, 1922 the first football game was played in the Rose Bowl with the University of California Bears battling the University of Southern California Trojans. The Rose Bowl was officially dedicated on January 1, 1923. There are over 100 different varieties of rose bushes situated between the Rose Bowl Stadium and the fence. The current official seating capacity is 92,542. The Rose Bowl is known mainly for the New Year's Day football game, but other events have called on the Rose Bowl to host their events. In addition to hosting five NFL Super Bowl Games, the 1994 Men's World Cup, and the 1999 Women's World Cup, the Rose Bowl Stadium is home to UCLA football, Major League Soccer (LA Galaxy), Fourth of July celebrations, concerts, religious services, and the world's largest flea market (R.G. Canning). Do you know of a Place that should be included here? Please Suggest a place in the appropriate category. |
